  • Text Network Visualization for Psychotherapy

    Mental disorders and various self-imposed psychological obstacles often arise because of the lack of choice.

  • The Divination Network of Tarot

    Tarot is a deck of cards used since the 15th century to play various games as well as for divination purposes. We at Nodus Labs studied the structure of various Tarot decks, treating the cards as the nodes and relations between them as edges, building a graph of relations between the cards that are invariant across various Tarot decks.

We are currently working on practical implementations of this study.

  • 27/06/2013 / Using the Framework of Networks to Enhance Learning and Social Interactions

    This session was presented at ComplexNetworks Laboratoire d’Informatique de Paris VI University. We focused on demonstrating the benefits of merging scientific research, social experiments and artistic practice in order to let ideas across the different fields mix and stimulate new social behaviors and produce interesting research questions to explore. In this talk we outlined the general approach and research questions currently relevant to us at Nodus Labs and presented the research, case studies, and tools that were created as a result of this approach at our organization.
